Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in an embodiment, the camera mounting assembly 300 includes a mounting base 310 and a camera 320 disposed on the mounting base 310, and functions such as video call and photography can be provided for the mobile terminal 10 through photographing and shooting functions of the camera 320, and a light incident surface of the camera 320 can be provided with dust-proof glass to shield dust. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the camera mounting assembly 300 may further include a light sensor, a flash, etc. disposed on the mounting base 310 for assisting the camera 320 in photographing, or other functional devices (e.g., iris recognition module, face recognition module, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, microphone, receiver, fingerprint module, etc.) independent of the photographing function of the camera 320. The material of the mounting base 310 may be, but not limited to, metal, plastic, stainless steel, or the like.

Referring to fig. 1, 8 and 9, the mobile terminal 10 is provided with a receiving slot 1311. In one embodiment, the receiving slot 1311 is formed in the body 100. In one embodiment, the receiving groove 1311 is formed on the first side 131 of the body 100. Further, the receiving groove 1311 may be formed in a middle portion of the first side 131, that is, the receiving groove 1311 is located between the front surface 110 and the rear surface 120. Of course, the receiving groove 1311 may also be formed at an edge of the first side 131 near the rear surface 120. The mounting base 310 can move from a first position (shown in fig. 1) to a second position (shown in fig. 8 and 9), when the mounting base 310 is in the first position, the mounting base 310 and the camera 320 are accommodated in the accommodating groove 1311, and when the mounting base 310 is in the second position, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is located outside the accommodating groove 1311, that is, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is exposed out of the body 100. Thus, when the camera 320 is required to be used for shooting, the mounting seat 310 carries the camera 320 to move out of the accommodating groove 1311, so that shooting is performed, after shooting is finished, the mounting seat 310 carries the camera 320 to move into the accommodating groove 1311, so that the space of the side of the display screen 200 occupied by the camera 320 can be eliminated, the coverage rate of the display screen 200 on the front surface 110 is increased, and the screen occupation ratio of the display screen 200 is improved.

In an embodiment, the mounting base 310 is disposed in the accommodating groove 1311 and can rotate relative to the body 100, and the mounting base 310 can carry the camera 320 to rotate out of the accommodating groove 1311, so as to realize the shooting function of the camera 320. In one embodiment, the rotation axis of the mount 310 is perpendicular to a reference plane, which is a plane in which the planar area of the display screen 200 is located, and may be understood as a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 (i.e., a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis shown in fig. 1, such as an XZ plane). In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the mount 310 passes through the center of a reference line, which is a line of maximum width of the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on a reference plane, and the reference plane is a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera 320, that is, the rotation axis of the mount 310 is parallel to the optical axis of the camera 320. For convenience of description, the embodiments are described below with reference to a plane. Further, in an embodiment, the rotation axis of the mount 310 passes through the center of a circumscribed circle of the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane. In other embodiments, the axis of rotation of the mount 310 passes through the center of a reference line, which is the line of maximum width of the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane. For example, as shown in fig. 12a, when the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane includes a region in the shape of a major arc, the line of maximum width is the diameter of the circle circumscribed by the major arc region. As shown in fig. 12b, when the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane includes an area having a rectangular shape, the connection line of the maximum width is a diagonal line of the rectangle. In other embodiments, the orthographic projection of the mounting base 310 on the reference plane may also include a rounded rectangle, and a line of the maximum width of the rounded rectangle is the reference line.

The image capturing surface (i.e., the light incident surface) of the camera 320 faces the front surface 110, i.e., the side of the display screen 200, and is used as a front camera. In an embodiment, the light incident surface of the camera 320 may also face to the side away from the display screen 200, and be used as a rear camera. The rear surface 120 of the body 100 may further be provided with another camera 121, where the light incident surface of the other camera 121 faces away from the front surface 110, that is, faces away from the side where the display screen 200 is located, and is used as a rear camera. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments (not shown), the other camera 121 may be disposed at an end of the mounting base 310 away from the camera 320, and when photographing is not required, the front camera and the rear camera of the mobile terminal 10 can be both hidden in the accommodating groove 1311, and when photographing is required by using the front camera or the rear camera, the mounting base 310 rotates to the second position, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is exposed at the side of the display screen 200, and the light incident surface of the other camera 121 is exposed at the side of the back display screen 200.

The functional devices such as the camera 320 can realize wireless data transmission through a chip arranged on the mounting seat 310 and a main board of the mobile terminal 10, and can also realize data transmission through a flexible circuit board or an elastic sheet and the main board of the mobile terminal 10. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 12a, the body includes a first very high frequency communication chip (not shown), the camera head mounting assembly 300 includes a second very high frequency communication chip 330, the second very high frequency communication chip 330 is disposed on the mounting base 310, the camera head 320 is capable of being communicatively connected to the second very high frequency communication chip 330, and when the mounting base 310 is in the second position, the second very high frequency communication chip 330 is paired with the first very high frequency communication chip so that the first very high frequency communication chip is capable of being communicatively connected to the second very high frequency communication chip 330.

In one embodiment, the first and second very high frequency communication chips 330 are very high frequency communication chips. The very high frequency communication chip is an IC (Integrated Circuit ) chip internally packaged with an EHF (extremely high frequency, very high frequency) antenna, and pairing can be completed when the two very high frequency communication chips are sufficiently close to each other for wireless communication. An example of an extremely high frequency communication chip is an EHF common link chip. The terms "common link chip," "common link chip package," and "EHF communication link chip package" are used to refer to an EHF antenna embedded in an IC package. Examples of very high frequency communication chips may be referred to the information described in U.S. patent application publications 2012/0263244 and 2012/0307932, and also the information disclosed in chinese patent document publication CN103563166A, CN104145380 a.

An example of the extremely high frequency communication chip can be seen in the chinese patent document with grant publication No. CN 105264785B. The image collector of the camera equipped with the very high frequency communication chip (second high frequency communication chip 330) can realize high-speed wireless transmission of data (e.g., up to a transmission speed of 6 GB/s) based on a high carrier frequency (e.g., 60 GHz) with the motherboard of the mobile terminal 10 equipped with the very high frequency communication chip (first very high frequency communication chip) packaged with the very high frequency antenna.

It can be understood that the near field communication based on the high carrier frequency has the advantages of low power consumption, small volume, high transmission rate, non-contact transmission and the like, can realize the function of a plug-and-play module, can greatly improve the signal integrity, supports more flexible system realization, reduces standby power consumption, increases the bandwidth amplitude and the safety of data transmission, and is compatible with the support of high-speed video signals.

It is understood that the high carrier frequency may be a carrier frequency that enables high-speed wireless transmission of data. The high carrier frequency may be a specific carrier frequency or a carrier frequency band, for example, 30GHz-300GHz, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the high carrier frequency is 60GHz.

The manner in which the drive mechanism assembly 400 described above controls the camera mounting assembly 300 may be implemented will now be described by way of example:

for example, a trigger key may be provided on the side 130 of the body 100. The trigger key connects to a motherboard within the mobile terminal 10. When the user presses or touches the trigger key, the trigger key sends a trigger signal to a processor on the motherboard, and the processor controls the driving mechanism assembly 400 such that the mount 310 rotates out of the receiving slot 1311 or retreats into the receiving slot 1311 under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400. In an embodiment, when a user needs to use the camera 320 to shoot, pressing the trigger key once can cause the mount 310 to rotate out of the receiving slot 1311 to a designated position (for example, the second position) under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400, at this time, the driving mechanism assembly 400 stops working, and the user can use the camera 320 to perform operations such as video chat or self-timer shooting. When the user does not need to photograph with the camera 320, pressing the trigger key once again can cause the mount 310 to retract into the receiving groove 1311 under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400. Of course, the number of trigger keys may be set to two, one for rotating the mount 310 out of the receiving slot 1311 to a designated position (e.g., a second position) under control of the driving mechanism assembly 400, and the other for retracting the mount 310 into the receiving slot 1311 under control of the driving mechanism assembly 400.

In other embodiments, the trigger key may be a touch icon disposed on the display screen 200, and clicking the touch icon can send a related touch signal to a processor on the motherboard, and the processor receives the touch signal and executes a corresponding command according to the control signal, so that the driving mechanism assembly 400 drives the mounting seat 310 to rotate out of the accommodating groove 1311 or retract into the accommodating groove 1311.

For example, the trigger key may be a start shooting icon and an end shooting icon provided in the display screen 200. When the shooting start icon is touched, the shooting start icon sends a first trigger signal to the processor of the main board, and the processor receives the first trigger signal and controls the driving mechanism assembly 400 to drive the mounting seat 310 to rotate out of the accommodating groove 1311 to a specified position (for example, a second position), so that the camera 320 can shoot under the shooting signal. When the shooting-ending icon is touched, the shooting-ending icon sends a second trigger signal to the processor of the main board, and the processor receives the second trigger signal and controls the driving mechanism assembly 400 to drive the mounting seat 310 to retract into the accommodating groove 1311.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
